Evil Ways
02:22
|
|||
|
I was born a putrid pile of shit
My mother shat me out and then she split
I am just a corruption on this world
And if there is one thing I’ve learned
Something taken is something earned
And for all I earned I have to burn
I was dead anyway
What more can I say?
I never gave up my evil ways
I was dead anyway
What more can I say?
I never gave up my evil ways
Must have been something I did or said
One minute I’m alive, next minute I’m dead
This thing called life, it's so unreal
Don't bless me or put me in the ground
Drag my corpse to the center of town
And let all the feral dogs come have a meal
I was dead anyway
What more can I say?
I never gave up my evil ways
I was dead anyway
What more can I say?
I never gave up my evil ways

Shadow In the Night
03:21

You can’t see me, but I can see you
I could reach out and touch you if I wanted to
And late at night, you’re always in my sight
Even when you turn out your light
And you’re so lovely, but I can’t overcome my anxiety
So I worship from afar and keep you in my fantasy
‘Cause I’m the creep outside your window
I’m the shadow in the night
I’m the voices you hear in the darkness
I’m your every fear and fright
You know I love you but you never see me
And oh how I need you, but we will never be
And I’m tired of waiting, so I’ve been contemplating
But one of these days I’m gonna take you far away
Where you can feel me but no one can hear you
You can scream as loud as, as you wanted to
‘Cause I’m the creep outside your window
I’m the shadow in the night
I’m the voices you hear in the darkness
I’m your every fear and fright
‘Cause my baby killed me
She stabbed me with a knife
She escaped from a locked up room
And she came and took my life
Oh how could you do this to me?
Lift the veil from off my eyes
I once thought you were beautiful
But that was just a clever disguise

Like a dog on the ground
You’ve been kicked around
Show your teeth laying ‘round
Sense the pressure never lesser
Building and building slow
You shout out “You never know”
Listen out for your echo
But no one’s listening, no one’s listening
You turn and turn
You yearn and yearn
You burn and burn
Shut me out indefinitely
Don’t go searching the ocean
For those yellow jelly beans
For it was me
Who stole all of them in the pocket of my jeans
You turn and turn
You yearn and yearn
You burn and burn
Shut me out indefinitely
Don’t go searching the desert
For that yellow pair of shoes
I’ve already burned everything
Haven’t you read the news?
You turn and turn
You yearn and yearn
You burn and burn
Shut me out indefinitely
Don’t go hunting in the tower
For all those yellow dreams
‘Cause they’ve all turned to nightmares
And I’ll soon destroy everything

Glassy Eyes
03:44
|

|
I’m giving up on sleeping
‘Cause I just can’t stop dreaming
Of your face every single night
And I’m giving up on thinking
‘Cause I just can’t stop blinking
All I see is your haunting sight
And I hope somehow you understand
That I never meant you no harm
But I’ll never forget your glassy eyes
And that needle in your arm
Now instead of wedding bells
We’ll hear a funeral a funeral dirge
And I’ll join you babe, one of these days
If I could just work up the nerve
I’m picking up on drinking
And I bet you that I’m sinking
Of the death that’s on my hands
And it’s fate that I’ve been cheating
But I’m getting an inkling
That it knows just where I stand
And I hope somehow you understand
That I never meant you no harm
But I’ll never forget your glassy eyes
And that needle in your arm
Now instead of wedding bells
We’ll hear a funeral a funeral dirge
And I’ll join you babe, one of these days
If I could just work up the nerve
And I’m the one to blame
For leading you straight to hell
And I’ll join you someday
Only time will tell
You ask for a glass of water
But I drowned you in the well
Instead of stopping to pick you up
I just watched as you fell
I’m giving up on speaking
‘Cause I just can’t reason
With my guilt anymore
And I’ve coupled my drinking
With these pills that I’ve been eating
Soon enough I’ll be at death’s door
And I hope somehow you understand
That I never meant you no harm
But I’ll never forget your glassy eyes
And that needle in your arm
Now instead of wedding bells
We’ll hear a funeral a funeral dirge
And I’ll join you babe, one of these days
If I could just work up the nerve

Seeds of Death
02:37
|
|||
|
The world is a memory
That’s all you’ve got left
Look towards the sky
As you take your last breath
What is an enemy
If not an asset
We’re gonna burn
From the fires that we set
Justify your love in life (Sowing the seeds of death)
Let it rain into the sky (Sowing the seeds of death)
Let the seeds of sorrow rise (Sowing the seeds of death)
Let it rain into the night (Sowing the seeds)
Bow to the hegemon
As it lays its waste
Collecting power
From your servile state
Manifest destiny
A world in flames
A population festering
Scaled with too much weight
Justify your love in life (Sowing the seeds of death)
Let it rain into the sky (Sowing the seeds of death)
Let the seeds of sorrow rise (Sowing the seeds of death)
Let it rain into the night (Sowing the seeds)
Don’t take your holy bible
And shove it down my motherfucking throat
Or with your wooden crucifix
I’ll churn your brain like butter into my floor
We’re all gonna burn
From the fires that we set

Queer For Beer
02:53
|
|||
|
I don’t know what I would do
If I woke up in a world without my magic brew
The one thing that I hold dear
Is an ice cold beer
I’m a dude and if beer were a dude
I’d totally be gay and fuck that dude
And wake up in the morning with a smile too
And be totally queer for beer
Queer for beer
Queer for beer
Queer for beer
I’m totally queer for beer
We’ll get dressed up in ladies’ clothes
And go downtown to the drag queen show
And shout our pride for the life we chose
‘Cause I’m totally queer for beer
Queer for beer
Queer for beer
Queer for beer
I’m totally queer for beer
But some will disagree and we’ll have to fight
Oppression from the conservative right
To defend my right to choose
To spend my life with my lover booze
We’ll get a parade to follow us
And won’t we look so fabulous?
The only thing that I fear
Is losing my life with my lover beer
Queer for beer
Queer for beer
Queer for beer
I’m totally queer for beer
I’m queer for beer

Crash Cart
02:44

Crash cart waiting
Won't you please make her right
I see her face drawn out
The curves and dancing ocean eyes
Clouds did break upon
My broken lifetime dreams
Fading to darkened light
Now I rest upon her
As I lay on a street-side curb
Engulfed in tears and memories
I watched window panes shatter
And the cars collide
Bodies shatter on the ground
It was the worst day of my life
As I held her body there
Hoping for her last smile
Crash cart waiting
Won't you please make her right
Stride toward
The place of high rise
With dawn awaits a shelter fear
Like when I was a child
To watch the bricks go up
Then fall down to the ground
Peace forgot me my love
To only hideout for a day
Another sunrise tells the tale
And it will dry the tears away
Crash cart waiting
Won't you please make her right
As I wait for the angels there
With not one to be found

All Hail Satan
05:27
|
|||
|
Satan
All hail Satan
Lord of my dreams
He gives me peace when I’m weary
And happiness when I’m teary
And He brightens my day
With the fires of hell
When I was in trouble and in need
He was the only one who was there for me
And you can sell your soul
To Him as well
All hail Satan
Lord of my dreams
All hail Satan
And His evil schemes
I was lost in the light, Satan found me in the dark
He gave me sight and then He touched my heart
Oh He touched my heart
He helps the lame get up and walk
And He gives the mute a voice to talk
And He’ll help you out
For your loyalty
You can have your fill of riches
You can have your fill of bitches
You can be anything you want to be
All hail Satan
Lord of my dreams
All hail Satan
And His big black wings
Jesus Christ is way too nice
I really can’t trust that guy
He’s gotta be full of lies
So full of lies
Vishnu and Siva and all the rest
Have got to be just a jest
And the Buddha dude is just an old hippy
Allah is just way too mean
And that Zen shit is way too clean
I need someone who likes to have some fun
All hail Satan
Lord of my dreams
All hail Satan
And His evil schemes
All hail Satan
And His big black wings

Hootenanny
03:23
|
|||
|
Thursday night, the bar is rocking
I check it out to see
Just who is causing all this ruckus
Frazier family hootenanny
Banjo picking, beer drinking
Smoke a bowl or a joint
They're just working to live
That's the whole fucking point
Here come the Fraziers
Breathe some life into this town
Here come the Fraziers
Always ready to throw down
Here come the Fraziers
Breathe some life into this town
Here come the Fraziers
Fix cars, ride motorcycles
Working class all through and through
If you mistake them for simple folks
Last thing you'll ever fucking do
Men are keen and the women are fine
Got kin as far as the eye can see
And when it comes time for the show
North Texas lies empty
Here come the Fraziers
Breathe some life into this town
Here come the Fraziers
Always ready to throw down
Here come the Fraziers
Breathe some life into this town
Here come the Fraziers
If you ride in a black and white
Then you’re not their particular sort
We’d like to sing another verse
But Shannon’s got to get to court
Here come the Fraziers
Breathe some life into this town
Here come the Fraziers
Always ready to throw down

Whiskey and Weed
02:25
|
|||
|
This world’s so unstable, make it whole again
Or has it always been crumbling?
I see you looking at me with nothing left to say
This chasm between us, a tide too high to wade
Actions, distractions, your reactions justified
Once again I commit the sins of anger and pride
So I beg, I implore, don’t walk out that door
Or it’ll be the end of me, of that I am sure
Whiskey and weed
Whiskey and weed
Stumbling through the door
Reeking of whiskey and weed
I don’t know, I don’t know, I cannot comprehend
The pain I cause you every weekend
I’m just a louse, just a sod, the last thing you need
I come stumbling through the door
Reeking of whiskey and weed
Whiskey and weed
Whiskey and weed
Stumbling through the door
Reeking of whiskey and weed
So baby oh baby
I’ll be home tonight
Just a mile or two down the road
And I’m driving fine
Whiskey and weed
Whiskey and weed
Stumbling through the door
Reeking of whiskey and weed
You dumb son of a bitch,
Got me staring at the door
I thought that you were dead,
But you’re passed out on the floor
It’s not like it happens once in a blue moon
It happens every Tuesday night
And Saturday afternoon
You never listen to what I have to say
So I’m leaving you on the floor
Right there where you lay
Now it’s my turn to get what I need
I’ll drink my own whiskey
And smoke my own goddamn weed
Whiskey and weed
Whiskey and weed
Stumbling through the door
Reeking of whiskey and weed
